The house was built between 1810 and 1820 and remodeled with Colonial Revival features around 1905.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the complex is significant as an early 20th century gentleman's farm built on an earlier high-style 19th century farm. The brick house is described as a rare survival of pre-1820 rural brick construction in Franklin County, and the c. 1905 additions are presented as a distinctive reworking of the original house. The quarried sandstone barn is cited as an upgraded example of regional barn construction.","narrative":"Corker Hill sits on a high bluff above the village of Scotland in Greene Township, Franklin County, overlooking Phillaman Run. The two-story brick house was built between 1810 and 1820, most likely for John Thompson, and a signature in the attic dates the work to 1820. Its original Federal details survive, including massive window frames, wrought strap hinges on the shutters, and a semicircular fanlight over the entrance. In about 1905, owner Thaddeus M. Mahon added a cupola, a projecting bay, a wraparound porch, and decorative gables in the Colonial Revival style. The complex also includes a large quarried sandstone Pennsylvania bank barn, a stone root cellar, and a tenant house. The house is valued as a rare early brick farmhouse in the county and as an example of an older farm reshaped into a gentleman's estate.","period_of_significance":"c. 1810-1916","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal; Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:36.323837-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/03000131.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000131/e5f97b871b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000131/e5f97b871b-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Corker_Hill_FrankCo_PA_1.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Corker_Hill_FrankCo_PA_1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995703","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corker_Hill","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5170855"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/franklin-county/corker-hill-03000131/"}
